Imagine that you are asked to measure the rate of respiration for a 25 g reptile and a 25 g mammal at 10 degrees Celsius. Predict how the results would compare and justify your prediction

The body temperature of the mammal will be higher than that of the reptile. this is because the mammal body temperature does not depend on its environmental temperature while a reptile does not have a stable body temperature and depend on the temperature of its environment.
